To all whom it may concern:

Be i"v known that I, ERNEST H. PEABonr,

the body of one of said branch pipes. Any

* well known way of using this bolt is Within a citizen of the United States, residing in the y my invention.

city of New York, county and State of New York, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Oil- 3urners for Furnaces, of which the following is aspeeification. 5

This invention has relation to a novel form of cheap and manageable burner for oil, intended for use in furnaces, under boilers and the like.

The principal feature of the invention is the novel arrangement of movable tip with suitable supply iipes, by use of which the tip is made'adjusta le or not at will and wherein, while easily removed or inserted, the tip is held as tightly in place as desired during use, to prevent eakage.

The invention is illustrated in theaccompanying drawings in which Figure 1 is a longitudinal median section of my device asused with an eccentrically mounted tip, Fig. 2 is a section of the tip on the lane XX in Fig. 1 and Fig. 3 is a View simi ar to Fig. 1 but showing a modification.

The principal feature of the invention consists in the use of a removable two-chambered tip with appropriate outlets between two abutting pipes for oil and steam respectively and means whereby the tip may be squeezed between the pipes to secure it in place.

The tip is shown at 1 and is preferably though not necessarily, cylindrical in form. The cylinder, which is preferably made of steel, is divided across its middle by a artition 2 through which an opening 3 is ored which fits snugly around the fastening bolt 4.

The walls of the cylindrical tip 1 are provided on one side with appropriate outlets above and below the partition 2. These preferably take the form'of parallel slots 5 and 6 across the cylinder and'one directly above the other.

The oil and steam enter respectively by the passages 7 and 8 in the main pipe 9 and The fastening bolt 4 passes down thnoughthe linal courses of the two branch pipes and its end 1s preferably threaded directly into As shown 1n Figs. 1 and 2, the bolt 4 passes through an opening 3 in the septum 2 j which is placed eccentrically with regard to the axis of the cylindrical ti As shown :in Fig. 2, the diameter of the t1p.eqi1al that of the two abutting pipe ends, and on one or both of these provided whic closely embrace'the tip 1 when in place. This construction is employed where it is not desired to intrust adustment of the t-i )s to the workmen using the burner. It wil be seen that, when once in place, the tip as shown in Figs. 1 and 2 cannot be turned, as its pivot is eccentric and the lugs embrace its sides. Thus used, the oil as it flows from the slot 5 is sprayed into the combustion chamber by steam leaving the slot 6 in a pre-determined direction.

\Vhere it is found desirable to give the operator latitude in regard to the-direction of the flame, the construction shown in Fig. 3 may be employed. Here the bolt 4 passes substantially axially through the tip 1 and, when the bolt 4 is loosened sufiiciently, the tip can be turned by the fingers in any desired position. With this form lugs 12 and 13 may or may not be used. a

It is one advantage of the form of burner herein described that the direction of the flame may be made either adjustable or not, as desired, by a simple change in the location of the bolt. A further advanta e of the invention resides in the facility wit which tips of this character are firmly secured in place while easily adjusted or removed by simply manipulating a single bolt.

Various changes may be made in this device without departing from the scope of the invention, and I am not'to be'understood' as limiting myself to the details herein shown and described.

What I claim is- 1. An oil burner for furnaces comprising se arate oil and steam conduits having mutually opposed openings, a tip havin separate outlets for oil and steam locate between said openings and means for pressing the ends plipe ends lugs 12; andl3 are of said conduits together upon said tip, sub

said tip being located between said conduit openings, an means for pressing the conduit ends togetherupon said tip, substantially as described.

3. An oil burner for furnaces comprising separate oil and steam conduits having mutual y o posed openings, a cylindrical tip located etween said conduit ends and a bolt passing through said conduit ends and said tip to draw sald ends together, substantially as described.

4. An oil burner for furnaces comprising se arate oil and steam conduits having mutual y opposed openings, a cylindrical tip having a cross partition and located between said openings, a bolt assing eccentrically through said conduit on s and tip and means for preventing rotation of said tip around said bolt, substantially as describe scenes 5. An oil burner for furnaces comprising 317118111 condult with two passages dividing into two branch conduits having mutually opposed openings, a tip located between said openings and means for pressing said branch conduits together on said tip, substantially as described.
